Congratulations. You're an idiot, did you even upgrade the fuel system when you installed the N2O system??
The 1.8 and 2.0 are basically the same, but the 1.8 has a better power curve stick with it.

1.8L is a better starting block. Speak with Andy Wagner at www.wagnermotorsports.net about getting forged internals for your car. I know he sells built 2.0L shortblocks but i'm sure he can do the same for the 1.8L's.
The 1.8L engines lack a little of the torque of the 2.0L engine but they rev much smoother, faster and higher. These are all key things when looking at adding a supercharger or FI in general.
yes, everythign is the same between the 1.8L and 2.0L if I remember correctly.

yeah i'm an idiot but i only did it because i have the xb and a bunch of other cars that my parents own and i can drive. the pro was just a beater but a nicer one then most. i only got it because my friend has one and i wanted to out do his. lol i never wanted to use nitrous. this was my other friends idea and i only did it because i didnt care. i dont plan on using it again either i want to build and super charge it. so will the womp work with my 1.8?
